Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils. As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".
This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.
The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o". This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.
This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols. Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

The change is currently needed to be able to remove the board
configuration scripting from the top level Makefile and replace it by
a simple, table driven script.
Moving this configuration setting into the "CONFIG_*" name space is
also desirable because it is needed if we ever should move forward to
a Kconfig driven configuration system.

The CONFIG_BFIN_CPU option is largely used in the build system, so move
it out of the board config.h and into the board config.mk. It'd be nice
to keep everything in the config.h, but the patch to extract that value
early was rejected.

Now that we have a unified gpio layer, the misc partial gpio commands
can be unified and made complete (support all possible gpios).

The hush shell dynamically allocates (and re-allocates) memory for the
argument strings in the "char *argv[]" argument vector passed to
commands. Any code that modifies these pointers will cause serious
corruption of the malloc data structures and crash U-Boot, so make
sure the compiler can check that no such modifications are being done
by changing the code into "char * const argv[]".
This modification is the result of debugging a strange crash caused
after adding a new command, which used the following argument
processing code which has been working perfectly fine in all Unix
systems since version 6 - but not so in U-Boot:
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
/* ====> */ while (*++*argv) {
switch (**argv) {
case 'd':
debug++;
break;
...
default:
usage ();
}
}
}
...
}
The line marked "====>" will corrupt the malloc data structures and
usually cause U-Boot to crash when the next command gets executed by
the shell. With the modification, the compiler will prevent this with
an
error: increment of read-only location '*argv'
N.B.: The code above can be trivially rewritten like this:
while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
char *arg = *argv;
while (*++arg) {
switch (*arg) {
...

Now that the other architecture-specific lib directories have been
moved out of the top-level directory there's not much reason to have the
'_generic' suffix on the common lib directory.

Previously, a specific file or directory could be compiled with custom
CFLAGS by adding a Makefile variable such as:
CFLAGS_dlmalloc.o = <custom flags for common/dlmalloc.c>
or
CFLAGS_lib = <custom flags for lib directory>
This method breaks down once multiple files or directories share the
same path. Eg FLAGS_fileA = <custom flags> would incorrectly result in
both dir1/fileA.c and dir2/fileA.c being compiled with <custom flags>.
This change allows finer grained control which we need once we move
lib_$ARCH to arch/$ARCH/lib/ and lib_generic/ to lib/. Without this
change all lib/ directories would share the same custom CFLAGS.

While the initdram() function makes sense on some arches, it doesn't for
Blackfin systems as it's always implemented the same way.

Building the compression code in lib_generic/ with -O2 rather than -Os
gives a nice speed boost without too much code size increase.

All the Blackfin linker scripts were duplicated across the board dirs with
no difference save from the semi-often used ENV_IS_EMBEDDED option. So
unify all of them in the lib_blackfin/ dir and for the few boards that
need to embedded the environment directly, add a LDS_BOARD_TEXT define for
them to customize via their board config file. This is much simpler than
forcing them to duplicate the rest of the linker script.
